AC_TRY_RUN tests are prohibited. Also, try to factor out some of these
huge tests into separate macros and put them into config/c-library.m4.
And it would be nice if there was some documentation about what was
checked for. If you just want to check whether gethostbyname_r() has 5 or
6 arguments you can do that in half the space.
